Terrible X-Men: Dark Phoenix Posters Are Not Official

Im-posters.

Some awful X-Men: Dark Phoenix posters circling the internet have, thankfully, turned out to be fakes.

After seeing the mock posters picking up steam online, IGN reached out to Fox to establish whether they were fan posters or actual official art. Thankfully, Fox has since confirmed that they are in fact fan-made.

They feature the expected line-up of heroes, anti-heroes and villains towards the bottom, with Sophie Turner as both Jean Grey and a hilarious-looking Phoenix looming above them. It's not an uncommon look for promoting a superhero movie but there's something not quite right about these images, and fans on Twitter agreed.

The ugliest #Marvel poster I have EVER seen in my life. Dark Phoenix posing looks like she's doing an audition for a Cosplay Contest. And the X-Men? Their costume looks like that had Yellow tape put on them. Sincerely honest @Marvel, this poster pushes me away from the film. pic.twitter.com/New8XYaDE0
